Additional information
by Elena Agostinis (Author)
Five Houses on the Wild Side is a visual feast showcasing the wildly imaginative, rules-free, cozy and sumptuous interiors Elena Agostinis has created for her family's homes in New York, Montana, and Mexico.
Bold and courageous choices of colors and patterns, elements from the wildlife and fauna of her South African childhood, mixed and matched with the best of local artisanry, textiles purchased from souks and markets all around the world, giant papier-mâché' animal garden sculptures, and wall art that spans from the elevated to the quirky and amusing, are Elena's traits that will inspire readers to free-styling their own homes. Elena's irresistible style, originality, and use of wild colors has not only been restricted to her family homes, but inspired a quiet town in Upstate New York, Tannersville, to repaint its own Main Street store fronts, contributing to the town being selected in 2021 for the $10-million-dollars New York State Downtown Revitalization Initiative award. Elena shares the inspiration from her childhood, travels, heritage, and family needs, encouraging readers to find their free spirit and apply it to their own interiors.
